The Sarawak Government is an authority governing Sarawak, one of the Borneo states of Malaysia, and is based in Kuching, the state capital. The state government adheres to and is created by both the Federal Constitution of Malaysia, the supreme law of Malaysia, and the Constitution of the State of Sarawak, the supreme law of the State.
The state government has only two branches: executive and legislative. Sarawak has no judiciary branch due to the federalisation of the court system in Malaysia. Although Sarawak has jurisdictions over Sharia and Native Courts (and their respective laws),[1][2] both courts are still considered parts of the state executive branch.
- ^ Both courts are under the jurisdiction of the Chief Minister.
- ^ Federal Constitution, Ninth Schedule, List IIA, Item 13.
